Have you seen the more than 100 pink flags flying around Homer and Anchor Point? They honor those who have experienced breast cancer and remind us that early detection - such as clinical breast exams and mammograms - saves lives.
Local businesses and individuals are sponsoring the flags to support access to breast cancer screening at KBFPC which provides reproductive healthcare regardless of ability to pay. If one of our volunteers missed you, please call KBFPC to find out about sponsorship.

Registration is open NOW for all skating programs at the Kevin Bell Arena.

Laine Rinehart’s Biography: “Neech Yaanagut Yéil yoo xhát duwasáak. Yéil áyá xhát.Teeyhítaan naax xhát site. Kagwaantan yádi áyá xhát. Laine Rinehart’s Tlingit name is Neech Yannagut Yéil, he is of the Teeyhítan clan from Wrangell, Alaska. He is also a child of the Kagwaantan through his father’s side and maternally descends from Taos Pueblo on his mother’s side. In the summer of 2010 he began weaving in Kay Parker’s Ravens Tail class and has since gone on to work with Lily Hope and her mother Clarissa Rizal. He is immensely grateful for being allowed to participate in a way of being that would generally be unavailable to men and strives to honor the practices and traditions of Chilkat weaving through the use of materials such as mountain goat hair (jaanwu) as well as yellow cedar bark to craft his weaving style.

When hunger weighs heavily, it’s hard to focus, hard to thrive, and hard to stay well. At the Anchor Point Food Pantry, we meet that need with empathy, respect, and cheerful hearts—because no one should have to face hunger alone. We provide a weekly food line and meals, monthly TEFAP commodities, holiday food boxes, summer produce, hungry kids' weekend meal packs and a kids' summer lunch bag program.
